ed in front of my family's shop. Hou Shaowen that fellow is here again!I rushed into the shop, my brother was talking to him: "Young Master Hou, I really don't have what you're asking for. Besides, I...The udon noodles appeared with reddish-purple lines that looked like marble patterns. My brother even teased me, saying that a weapon was so pink and girly.

I don't know why it would change. Luohou Xingjun said this is a treasure from the Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion, it must have many powers we don't know about.

My brother's car sped forward, and on the dark roadside was a small construction site. A row of buildings had been completed, but they were still empty with no doors or windows installed.

He drove the car there, found a place convenient for escape to park it, opened the sunroof's spotlight, illuminating the area, then got out of the car carrying his sword.

I came down too, the person in the skin suit swayed and chased after me, a mass of black mist swirling around the broken limbs, obscuring its true form.

We watched as a broken human skin, hands and feet dangling in the air, drifted eerily toward us.

Thunder rumbling, lightning flashing, I muttered a spell and struck that thing with my mystic arts. My brother pulled out a full-body windproof suit from the trunk—the kind that covers your whole head and face.

Just as he stepped forward, the creature's mouth suddenly opened wide, revealing rows of sharp, white fangs. My brother swung his sword down through the middle, sending several drops of viscous pus splattering from the fangs.

"A snake," my brother scowled, shaking his rapier. "Definitely that red-cloaked woman's poison insect."

A snake wearing human skin

"What should we do then Can the Five Elements Fire Art kill it" I asked as I prepared to attack with a spell.

Based on my estimation, the snake in the black mist should be about one meter long. As long as I'm careful of its venom, I shouldn't have any major problems.

"Bro, what else do you have in your gear" I turned around and rummaged through the trunk, hoping to find a mask or something.

My brother shook his head. "I don't remember what it was, either. You check the box for any protective gear—put on your clothes first! There's a lady's one inside as well!"

This kind of clothing was designed to protect against poisonous ants in the wild. It offers good protection, but it's hard to see clearly at night after putting on the veil.

I held the long sword transformed from Zixiao Ruyi, donned my protective suit, and we, me and my brother, flanked it. The insect seemed hesitant, unsure who to attack. My brother immediately jumped in front of it as bait.

It suddenly jumped up, opening its mouth and "shooting" towards my brother. My brother ducked his head, and the person's costume straight into the trunk of the car.

"Darn it!" My brother exclaimed, sounding pained.

That thing slammed into the crack of the box, getting stuck for a moment. I raised my hand and swung towards the black mist.

The celestial weapon wielded by the immortal, wrapped in the might of purple lightning, cleaved downwards. I felt the sword edge sever something, and a chunk of "meat" fell from the black mist.

Is it the tail

I stared intently. My brother was already yelling, wielding his sword to rip open the lower half of the human skin. Inside a swirling black mist, a snake with a serpentine body darted quickly, slipping under the car and into an empty house on the side.

The severed tail on the ground was still twitching. I clenched my fist and struck twice with Lei Jue, watching the charred tail and thinking it should be harmless now, right

My brother chased the snake to an empty first floor. This row of houses wasn't finished yet, and the first floor was completely empty with no one around. As he ran in, a woman's voice suddenly shouted from inside, “Don’t hurt us, don’t hurt us! We have no money!”

Oh Is anyone here!

I hurried to chase after him, and my brother was also startled — there were still homeless people here

At that pause, the black mist seemed to vanish into thin air. My brother flicked on his tiny flashlight and shone it into an empty room.

In the corner, there was a dark lump trembling. My brother shouted, "What are you doing! Scared us with your appearance at this late hour!"

Underneath the black fabric, there was a woman with disheveled hair and dirt on her face. She was also holding a little girl who seemed to be about five or six years old. Seeing this scene, we were all stunned — truly homeless With a child too

I asked, "What are you doing here If you have nowhere to go with your children, you can seek help at the police station. It's very dangerous here! What would happen if you met a bad person"

The woman seemed mentally unstable, clutching her child and saying, "Don't hit me, don't hit me! And don't bully my daughter! I'll let you do whatever you want to me, just please don't bully my daughter!"

My brother and I looked at each other. My brother impatiently said, "This place is dangerous, you guys get out of here! Go wherever you want, just don't stay here! People die here!"

The little girl in the woman's womb suddenly asked, "Mom, they seem so scary. Are they bad people"

I quickly replied, "We're not bad people. Please leave this place quickly. A snake has run in and it could kill you. Go away, don't hide in this dark place!"

The woman cowered, wishing she could squeeze into the wall.

My brother was anxious. He opened his mouth and said, "Come on, come on, I'll give you some money to go eat some good food, and then stay at a hotel, okay Here, big brother gives you money."

My brother is also very cautious and doesn't want to get close to strangers. He took out a few hundred yuan in red bills from his wallet and placed them on the ground, tempting them to come out.

Of course, the woman saw money open her eyes and stood up tremblingly, saying: "... you're not bad people, are you"

"No, no, stop talking nonsense, just take the money and leave, or you're dead!" my brother urged.

The little girl followed the woman out. As she passed me, she said, "Mom, can we stay in a hotel ... It's so cold here..."

My ears twitched slightly, "Mom What's that sound"

And my brother just said "stay at a hotel," but this little girl started saying "stay at an inn."

The connotations of the two words are completely different, you know.

"Stop." I called out.

The woman hunched over, coming to a halt.

"Where are you from What are your names I have a friend who is a police officer, and he can help you." I said, staring at the woman's back.

Even a normal person, even if they were a homeless person, wouldn't wander around in such a black robe, would they

It's not surprising that

they wouldn't be considered terrorists!

The woman's voice was a little lost, and she murmured softly, "We...we just came from...there..."

I quietly clenched the hilt of the Ruyi Sword in my hand.

She suddenly lunged forward, her black robe as if being pulled by a rope, swiftly covering me head-to-toe.

"Damn it!" My brother suddenly kicked that woman with a powerful kick, sending her flying two meters away.

I swung my sword, cleaving through the black robe before me. Beneath it lay the snake!

This woman is the one who manipulates snakes!

"Bro, watch out for the kid!" I swung my sword at the snake, it slithered around dodging, the walls of the house were scarred with slashes from my sword strikes, but I couldn't land a hit.

My brother lowered his head to look at the little girl. The little girl looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Little girl, get away from here! Or I'll be rough with you—"
